Yesterday's gone and I see
What you were doing to me
In the name of 'Love'
And God above.
You loved me your own special way
But you never bothered to say
Those words to me
To set me free.
I can forget and forgive
I only wish you could live
Forever, here by my side
I cried.
I would be there by your side
But no matter how hard I tried
To please you, it would be wrong
All along.
So, why are you leaving me now,
Just when you're showing me how
To arrange things the way they should be
For me?
I don't know who I am.
My feelings are caught in a jam
on the highway from my heart to my mind
I find.
I hold your hand as I say
Everything will be OK
In a little while, but you have to go
I know.
But when I look in your eyes
All i can hear are your cries,
Without tears, what you're trying to say
Today.
Then you start slipping away
Unable to show or to say
Or communicate that the end you fear
Is here.
So listen to my eyes
As my heart desperately tries
To tell you that I really do
Love you.
